W'apow mu e, 

Happy 4th birthday, Bonnie!  She was the first one up this morning.  As soon as the boys woke up, she told them, "You need to tell me, 'Happy Birthday!'"  

The taxi had car trouble this morning and got here about ten minutes late.  The kids said that they were a little late to school.  Bonnie had to go to the office on her birthday for tearing someone else's seatwork page.

I have a bug bite that has turned into cellulitis again.  I was sick all morning but am feeling a little better this evening.

Missions With the Consfords

Browse the full archive or join the Consfords as a prayer partner.

When the kids got home, Bonnie opened one more present that I had tucked away in the closet.  We played pin the tail on the donkey.

Bonnie had requested pizza again for her birthday supper.  Since we just had it on Friday night for that party, she said sandwiches would be okay tonight.

Joe arrived safely in Israel.  He got there very early this morning and is still going strong.  He is three hours ahead of us, and we are five hours ahead of Central Standard Time.

Nantsew yie!
